Define PROPER NOUN and COMMON NOUN

Hi Preetham ,

1. Proper noun :- Proper noun is the special name of a particular person or place . For instance , Smith is a Proper Noun , for it is the name of one particular boy  . In the same way Madras is a Proper Noun , because it is the name of a particular city.

   NOTE :- A Proper Noun always begins with a Capital Letter.

2 . Common Noun :- The name boy can be given to any and every boy - to Aftab , Harry , Raman , John , etc. It does not point out any particular boy . It is a name common to all boys . It is , therefore , called a Common Noun . In the same way , the name city is called a Common Noun , because it does not point out any particular city , such as Delhi , Madras , Patna , but is used for any and every city in any part of the world .

                A Noun which does not point out any particular person  , place or thing , but is common  to all persons , places or things of the same class or kind is called a Common Noun.

Hope you understood it !

Cheers !

Proper Nouns

You always write a proper noun with a capital letter, since the noun represents the name of a specific person, place, or thing. The names of days of the week, months, historical documents, institutions, organisations, religions, their holy texts and their adherents are proper nouns. A proper noun is the opposite of a common noun

In each of the following sentences, the proper nouns are highlighted:

The Marroons were transported from Jamaica and forced to build the fortifications in Halifax.
Many people dread Monday mornings.
Beltane is celebrated on the first of May.
Abraham appears in the Talmud and in the Koran.
Last year, I had a Baptist, a Buddhist, and a Gardnerian Witch as roommates.

Common Nouns

A common noun is a noun referring to a person, place, or thing in a general sense -- usually, you should write it with a capital letter only when it begins a sentence. A common noun is the opposite of a proper noun.

In each of the following sentences, the common nouns are highlighted:

According to the sign, the nearest town is 60 miles away.
All the gardens in the neighbourhood were invaded by beetles this summer.
I don't understand why some people insist on having six different kinds of mustard in their cupboards.
The road crew was startled by the sight of three large moose crossing the road.
Many child-care workers are underpaid.

Sometimes you will make proper nouns out of common nouns, as in the following examples:

The tenants in the Garnet Apartments are appealing the large and sudden increase in their rent.
The meals in the Bouncing Bean Restaurant are less expensive than meals in ordinary restaurants.
Many witches refer to the Renaissance as the Burning Times.
The Diary of Anne Frank is often a child's first introduction to the history of the Holocaust.
